IP in Action: From Global Security to Green Innovation
As intellectual property becomes a decisive driver of technological leadership, security strategy, and sustainable growth, the question is no longer why IP matters — but how it can be leveraged to protect, monetize, and transform innovation.
In this three-day international conference, LES Scandinavia brings together top experts to explore how IP intersects with defense, sustainability, licensing, and artificial intelligence — and how these intersections are shaping the future of business.
Designed for IP counsels, licensing professionals, R&D leaders, innovation officers, and business executives, the event will provide strategic frameworks, practical tools, and real-world examples to navigate litigation, unlock licensing opportunities, and integrate IP into high-stakes decision-making.
Whether you are safeguarding critical defense technologies, building green innovation strategies, or adopting AI for smarter portfolio management, this conference will offer actionable insights and exceptional networking opportunities in an international setting.
